The meltdown that is happening on the Vandy message boards

They're now claiming CBJ will be fired before mason after another 6-6/7-5 season. Pretty sure we just had a 8-4 season but, they may be right and CBJ gets fired first. That would speak more to the lower standards at vandy though imo.haha 4-8 is super cereal improvement.

Letter to Vandy from a Vandy fan. Why would they expand an empty stadium?

"Dear Mr. Williams,

Two years ago, there was a stadium upgrade survey. I love to hear those results.

If there is a upgrade schedule, where are we at? I think the seating plan inside the stadium needs some dramatic rethinking even before we break grounds on renovation.

I am excited about a few ideas that you might find interesting.

Offer a new system for season tickets renewal.

One anecdote that inspires my email is from my 70 year old father-in-law who was moved by Paul Houlihan years ago and now sits on the 50 yard line in a section that has become a sea of road game rival fans. He is still scarred by that decision. At the time, it was either increase your Commodore Club donation or we will move your seats to avoid a cost increase.

And scarred by siting with rival fans? (In an empty stadium?) lol Scarred? Really?

Vandy people. So much better educated than most. But shame for ending a sentence with a preposition!

Two years ago, (DELETE COMMA) there was a stadium upgrade survey. (Or 'A STADIUM UPGRADE SURVEY WAS COMMISSIONED/COMPLETED' CHOOSE APPROPRIATE WORD). I (ADD 'WOULD') love to hear those (THE) results.

If there is a ('AN' NOT A) upgrade schedule, where are we at (DELETE 'AT')? I think the seating plan inside the stadium needs some dramatic rethinking even before we break grounds on renovation. (WEAK SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION AND SO MANY WAYS TO EDIT IT:blink:)

I am excited about a few ideas that (DEAD WORD) you might find interesting.

Offer a new system for season tickets renewal. (WHAT ARE THE OTHER IDEAS? WHAT NEW SYSTEM WOULD BE RECOMMENDED?)

At the time, it was either increase your Commodore Club donation (COMMA) or we will move your seats to avoid a cost increase. (ONE ANECDOTE, IS THERE ANOTHER? IF NOT CHOOSE 'AN')

Can't adequately edit on this iPad, but, if this is an example of a Vandy education, their English Department is in dire straits. He wasn't posting in a forum, texting, sending an informal letter. Supposedly this was a serious letter written to a senior administrator at Vanderbilt. If the author was as well educated as Vandy people love to proclaim their alumni are, it seems he could have done better, MUCH better:crazy:.

One of my favorite exchanges:

Vol Fan in Nashville: "Where is Dudley field at?"

Vandy Fan: "You know it's incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition, don't you?"

Vol Fan: "OK. Where is Dudley field at, a-hole?"

It's strange to say this but they really have a good defense. Had they used the QB that played us when they played UF, they probably would have beat Florida. Nevertheless I enjoyed thumping Vanderbilt and embarrassed them. Their head coach is a good defensive coach and we made him look ridiculous.

It's amazing how we consistently score points against great defenses and it seems like the SEC media isn't impressed. It's also amazing that Toledo beats Arkansas, Memphis beats Ole Miss and The Citadel beats South Carolina while UGA and Florida having to go into overtime with Goergia Southern and Florida Atlantic isn't that big of a deal to some. That's 5 SEC teams that struggled with lower division teams.

It's a shame that the best SEC teams from each division aren't playing in the championship game.

I don't know if Vandie beats Florida with Shurmur or not. They had him vs Texas A&M 2 weekends ago and he was part of a stellar 23 yard passing attack. 3 of 12, 19 yards, 1 int, 1.0 QBR. Unfortunately, we at times made him look like the second coming of Joe Montana last Saturday.

4-4 and finished 4th in '13. Missouri and USC finished on top with UGA in 3rd. Vandy hit 4th in the east a lot under Franklin but never broke it.

I was curious so I looked it up. Before this season it's only happened twice this century that a two SEC win team finished as high as fourth in the east. The gulf between third and fourth this year is titanic.

This is the pic they have up for the main image on VM now:

Is this supposed to imply that we were holding all game and that's why we blew them out? What a joke.

If that's the implication it's pretty weak. Of course, it's Vandy so weak is to be expected.

they are most likely using that pic to show how the REF's screwed them out of the game by not calling penalties.

There is a thread on there that says exactly that. Not necessarily that it cost them the game but that the refs favored us the whole game. I'd link it but I'm on mobile.

Is that really even considered holding? Just because an offensive player used his hands doesn't mean it's automatically holding, and to me that's not holding.

Lame holding calls aside, generally speaking a hold has to be pretty blatant, and IMO at least that's far from blatant holding.

Looks like he actually has leverage on his arm and is folding it back to keep him from reaching out to hurd... not holding.

Semi-drunken conversation from the 4th quarter while the game was winding down last night:

Guy sitting in front of us asks "Should the SEC pay Vanderbilt $100 million dollars to go away?" He asked after taking a long look at their visitor's section and remarking how they barely brought more than North Texas.

I kinda scoffed at it but he made at least an interesting case for it. Instantly improve your football game inventory by at least 8-10 games. Expand into a new TV market while not losing any current ground. You'd lose their baseball program as far as non-revenue goes....and that's about it.

I still enjoy having a built-in patsy for most years, but it at least made me think...

Are you kidding!? Vandy brings the whole conference up academically. In addition, the school basically led the charge in forming the SEC so I think they deserve to be in.

Even if we do whip dey azz
